(pretty sure that's not the original but you get the point)
Well it's not just the Chinese makers doing it - all the western brands who are trying to sell to china (so BMW, Merc, Lexus etc) are supposedly tweaking their designs to appeal to the huge huge huge Chinese market. Makes sense. And the expensive foreign brands (Vs indigenous) adds extra cachet to the "I'm important/gangster so get out of my way".
It's a status and wealth thing.
